I want to invest in 4–5 more companies before the end of the year. If you're building something in the following categories, I'd love to meet you: • AI-Native Relationship Tools – CRMs (personal or professional) that help people stay in touch and reconnect with existing contacts. • Networking Platforms – Products that help users meet new people in large-scale or event-based settings through curated introductions. • Voice-First Companies – B2C and B2B startups built primarily around voice-based AI interactions. • AI Personal Assistants – Systems that autonomously manage communication, scheduling, and admin tasks without human supervision. • AI Workforce Enablement – Tools that retrain or upskill workers for the AI economy. • AI Tutoring and Education – Personalized, adaptive learning tools that serve as intelligent tutors or skill-building companions. • New Communication Platforms – Next-generation replacements for email, iMessage, and Slack that improve how we communicate with each other. • AI Productivity and Interfaces – Prosumer software and hardware that rethink how humans interact with technology—through voice, touch, or new modalities. • Longevity and Healthtech – Companies improving diagnostic and therapeutic outcomes to extend healthspan. • Community + Connection Platforms – Products that bring people together and foster authentic human connection. • Entrepreneur Enablement – Tools and platforms that empower the next generation of founders to start and grow companies. • AI-Native Back Office – Middle and back-office products (HR, tax, accounting, admin) that help solopreneurs scale efficiently. • Elder Connection Tools – Products that help people connect with aging relatives through media, storytelling, or communication software. • Social Alternatives – New forms of leisure and social interaction that don’t revolve around alcohol. • AI-Integrated Consumer Hardware – Devices that create more personal, intuitive interfaces between humans and AI. Btw, I invest as an angel but also at a partner from @NextWaveNYC At Next Wave NYC, we aim to be 1st check-in. Our investment team includes a diverse set of founders from Foursquare, Chief, and ClassPass, and leaders from OpenAI, Anthropic, NVIDIA, and others. Please DM me with a 1-line sentence about what you're building.
